GSD, Capi, and her BIS was the country’s Number One Dog All Breeds, the GWP,

We love our small “boutique” shows here in the south, where
there is time to visit with friends and finish Best In Show at a reasonable
hour.However, that does not mean that
we don’t expect major competition to show up.

Finishing one/two were our DOG2WATCH, the Great Dane, Scout,
and the Standard Poodle, Thomas.Scout
has been making her presence known lately with three BIS in the last two
weekends for a total of twelve in 2012.

Collecting her second consecutive BIS was the Foxhound,
Jewel, while the Welsh Terrier, Jennie, picked up her second RBIS of the
set.Jewel is the winningest American
Foxhound in AKC history with 28 career BIS, all in 2012.
